After a pair of monster games, Fab Melo missed yesterdays Maine Red Claws game (which you can watch in its entirety above) with a mild concussion.  As we know nowadays, concussions are taken quite seriously, so they’ll be very careful with him.  It’s unclear how he suffered the concussion.  He’s listed as day-to-day.

Fab Melo followed up his monster triple double game by almost dropping another.  Fab had 32 points, 9 rebounds and 9 blocks in nearly 37 minutes against the Idaho Stampede. It is a great sign of progress for Melo, but I’m going to take a second to preemptively address some of the comments I know [...]

Fab Melo went bonkers tonight in the Red Claws’ 85-78 loss to the Erie Bayhawks. In 36 minutes, Melo tallied a triple-double, the Red Claws 3rd ever, with 15 points, 16 boards and a new D-League record 14 blocks. So is this just one hell of a night for Melo against D-League competition? Or is [...]

The Maine Red Claws, minus Kris Joseph who we saw last night in Boston, took on the LA Defenders in their home opener… and they did it wearing the uniforms of the Boston Celtics. The Claws fell to the Defenders 97-94.  Micah Downs struggled, shooting 5-14, but he still led Maine with 22 points.  Fab [...]

The Maine Red Claws moved to 2-0 on the season after a 117-112 win over the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants. Former C’s camp invitee Micah Downs led the Red Claws with 28 points and 15 rebounds, while Kris Joseph put up 23.  Joseph only shot 6-22 from the field, but he was 10-10 from the [...]

Kris Joseph scored 28 points and had 8 rebounds and Fab Melo blocked four shots in their NBDL debut last night with the Maine Red Claws… and that is video of the entire game. One game into the D-League season, this is playing out pretty much like I thought it would.  Joseph is going to [...]

In an absolutely expected move, the Boston Celtics have assigned Kris Joseph and Fab Melo to the Maine Red Claws. Despite what some people may have said about Fab Melo, there was never any doubt that he was destined for an extended stay in Portland.  He has some good instincts when it comes to anticipating [...]

The Celtics made a big splash in the 2012 NBA draft, landing what could become two key pieces to the future of their organization; Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo. Sullinger played extremely well in the Summer League and already figures to be a key contributing member to the Celtics rotation. Melo on the other hand [...]

Another Media Day has come and gone, and as usual, we saw some sweet kicks. Veterans like Paul Pierce brought out some great shoes, as did newcomers like Courtney Lee. Here’s Paul in his Nike “P2 V” from the 2008-09 season. They feature a replica of his “Gift/Curse” tattoo on them. We also saw Jeff [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.  “He’s making strides,” said Joseph. “He’s in better shape, he’s trimmed down tremendously. He’s a guy I’ve been with for two years, and I remember his jump [...]
